THE REr1REmEpr OF MR.. MANNING

In commenting on Mr.. Manning's retire
remarks: There is 10 longer any doubt that
Mr. Secretary Manning syiH retiw from the
Treasury shortly after the adjournment Of
Congress. That this step is one in which
he is justified ON account of his physical
condition pagst be conceded. Though he
has recovered in most remarkable degree
from the attack which compelled him to
give up his duties for long time. and
though his strength is probably sufficient
10 withstand the strain of any ordinary
private baincss in more inFigorating
climate than that of Washington, he may
well hesitate to continue tile burden of re-
sponsibility that is necessarily added to the
labor of the Treasury Department. His
withdrawal cannot but he a source of rcoret
to the President, as it must be to the bus-
ness community generally.
Mr.. Meanings career in the Treasury
has been an extraordinary one. lie eentered
that great Office with no experience in pub
lie affairs, either administrative or legisa-
tive, and with only that moderate direct
training Ia finance that was to be had in
tic presidency of a relatively unmportaut
Albany bank His life had been spent in
the pursuit of his private business as owner
and editor of the Albany srguS and in
politics IN which he had done important
and successful work. but not work that the
public recognized as fitting him for his new
position.
His conduct of the Treasury Department
proper, as relating TO tle fiscal and financial
policy he has adopted, is The most remark
able, and gives evidence of qualities and
powers of the rarcst sort. He has called
about him men of very unusual ability and
forces fact in itself showing capacity OF
no common order. lie has had the intelli-
gcnce and the courage to give to these men
the amplest freedom, while retaining re-
sponsible control of his department, har.
monizing all the elements entering into its
policy and presenting to the country a
complete, strong, sound and cnlght tened
administration that has received and has
deserved great praise both at home and
abroad. AT ITO time since Hamilton, with
the possible exception of the war period
and that inyolvcd wholly different con.
ditions-has the administration of the
Treasury Department been marked 10y
greater vigor, intelligence. foresight and
courage than under Mr.. Manning. He has
laid before Congress policy with reference
10 the revenues, covering not ouly the
principles by which their distribution
should be guided, but the principles Of the
administration of the laws as well, that i.
hardly open 20 criticism in its essential fca
lures. Had it been adopted, the prosYcri
of the country would have been enormousl,
advanced and its power among the com
nercial nations of the world would have
been greatly and permanently increased.

THE ANARCHISTS MUST
HANG.
M U II

Tie Supreme Court has decided
that the Anarchists must swing, and
unless the Governor of Illinois in
terposes the pardoning power, the
whole seven will grace the gallows
in Chicago.
The friends of the condemned
men are INDUCING in good deal OF
threatening, and intimate that they
will cause the cutters to run with
blood, if !. the Government OF the
United States does not make
square breakdown and pardon the
men under sentence of death. Ii
the issue has to be made on this
ground. now is as good a time to
make it as any, and the quicker the
matter IS determined the better.
III the United States must fight An
archy with powder and ball, Chi
cago is as good place as any. The
Anarchists have determined on the
time and place of the battle ground.
The Government is already massing
troops, and the city marshaling its
police for the fray.
Ii the Anarchists cannot obey
the laws of country in which
they have sought residence, with
out bloodshed, they can soon be
taught that the Government is not
only able to make laws, but to en-
force them. Ii it cost a thousand
lives to enforce the law, that would
be no valid excuse for tcmporizine
with so prime gang of thieves and
murderers as now howl their bla
tant menace at law and order II

more eager for the fray than the pc
ice, who would be glad of an OPP
porturity TO avenge their murdered
comrades. The Anarchists viii

A SWEET VOICE HUSHED

Jenny Lind, the Swedish Night
engale, has just died in London,
aged 6S years. Over quarter OF a
century ago she was the leading
singer of the stage, holding the
same position that Patti holds now.
She had the music-loving world at
her feet, and enormous prices were
paid for seats at her concerts.
Her voice seemed to come, not
from the throat, nor the chest, but
the soul; and during her long and
blameless life she was as much
noted for her good heart as her
wonderful voice. She sang
thousand times for charity, and
thousands were the recipients of
her open-handed benevolence. Now
that she has passed away. the nem-
ory of her good deeds will go down
to posterity linked with her artistic
triumphs.
1t might be well for Patti to pat
tern after the dead sNightengale OF
Sweden, and let go Yer grip on
some of her boarded gains in the
direction of charity. Ii she does, il
will sweeten the surroundings o.
her diving hour.

SniDe Shooting.

Come with me and we will see how the
thing is done, says Maurice Thompson in
the st. Louis Republican. Yonder is the
marsh, wide, fiat area, covered with
tufts of tall grass and dotted here and
there with little pools of water, around
which grow fringes of yellow willow
trees. There is a stiff breeze blowing
out of the southwest, and the grass
rustles and signs sharply. We start in
at brisk pace, eager to flush the lurking
game. hunt them down the wind, SO
as to shoot them as they rise and turn.
Ten to one it will startle you when the
first bird gets up out of the grass with a
whiz and a cry of escape, scape." You
see a whitish something somerset in the
air and begin zigZagging away at a
speed wholly unexpected, and in line
as spiral as the thread of a screw. AS a
rule the flight is not more than ten feet
above ground; usually it is near the
hOrison, so that the shooter finds it very
pulling to follow the bird with his eye.
You must be quick of aim and bang
away, hit or miss After a few trials
you will begin to find knack of catch
ing the game with your sight Just as it
fairly clears the grass and on the instant
that it pauses before making its sOmer-
set. If you wait longer you must have
an eye like a kingfsher's and the quick
ness of a cat to make a successful shot,
for he leaps this way, then that, whirl-
ing over, shying, skipping, leaping. fall
in ~ like boys kite when it is not prop
erly balanced and, indeed, runri ing
through all the possibilities of eccentric
flight. If you hit and kill him he always
falls upon his back. He is a good hider
when winged, and you must have dog
to find him.
For the best snipe grounds go to
Louisiana; the Calcasieu and Bayou
Teche regions are full of game in No
vember and March. Good shooting may
be had, however, all along the Atlantic
coast from New Jersey to Florida, and
over all the wet parts of our western
prai1es, provided you can find the right
spots.

How Flower Pots Are Made.

"What becomes of all the flowers in
winter 2" a florist was asked. The
answer was that many of the choicer ones
were ported and housed during the
winter months. For the manufacture of
flower-pots earthen clay is used, of a fine
quality, which burns red. The smallest
f1ower-pot made is two inches in di
ameter, and the largest sixteen. The
potter forms his clay into balls of con-
venient and suitable size. He dips his
hands in water, and having placed the
lump of clay upon his wheel, he opens it,
and deity draws it up TO a gauge so fixed
in the shaft of the wheel as to indicate
the dimensions of the pot desired: The
wheel itself is of solid plank, eighteen
inches in diameter. 1t is set upon re-
volving shaft, which is worked by a
treadle. This is the only machinery
used by potters, and. with the exception
of some slight alterations in the treadle,
it has remained the same for upward of
5000 years.
The flower pots are either sun-dried or
dried in an oven moderately heated
when they are ready for the kiln. Here
they are placed in nests and are allowed
to remain from day and half TO two
DAYS. If very hard ones are wanted
they remain longer in the kiln and the
fire is kept at a white heat. Surprisingly
few are broken during the process Of
manufacture or in transportation.
Flower pots range in price from So to
500 a thousand, according to their
size. There is hardly dwelling in the
city that does not contain one or more
flower pots. Even the poorest tenement
has a few plants in the window. Many
thousands are broken every year and re-
placed in the fall, and potters are always
busy. Vases, urns, and other fancy re-
ceptacles for flowers are made in many
designs-Nelo York Sun.

onsly"
If the earth turn up lumpy after the
pillow, roll and harrow it reasonably fine
at once without waiting for rain. A
light shower. which would not moisten
hard Jumps, will render small ones fit to
moulder fine as ashes. 1t is hard to over
estimate the importance of fining land
which is to be sown with any cereal.
The kind of sheep to keep depends on
the soil and pasturage. The SouthdOwn
is the best TO cross with native ewes that
are made TO forage a great portion of the
time. Merinos do better in large flocks
than do the heavy mutton sheep. Heavy
breeds cannot range as easily as the small
sheep, and therefore require more atten-
ton. Using the improved breeds for
crossing means that large allowance of
food must be given if success is expected
The young shorthorn breeder who will
take one good family and breed it in its
purity with the best sires will attain a
success and reputation not to equaled
by the miscellaneous breeder of a dozen
families. The young breeder who takes
one family of good breeding and of the
very best individual merit, and with the
right kind of bull to stamp uniform

will stick to his one family for ten or
twenty years.
Cultivated in groves, the average
growth in twelve years of several va
rieties of hard wood has been ascertained
to be about as follows: White maple
reaches foot in diameter and 80 feet in
height; ash, leaf maple or box elder 1
foot in diameter and 20 feet in height;
white willow, Is inches and 40 feet; yell
low willow, 10 inches and 35 feet; Lom-
hardy poplar, 10 inches and 40 feet;
blue and white ash, 10 inches and %
feet; black walnut and butternuts, 10
inches and twenty feet.
If, as is sometimes the case, a horse
pulls hard upon the bit it is not desirable
to put in its mouth twisted or other
severe bits, as it only makes the matter
worse. A much better way is to take a
common bit and have it covered with
stout leather, and use it in that manner
1t may take a little time for horse to
get used to it. He cannot get so strong
a hold with his teeth, and it is not as
severe upon the mouth as a curb or
twisted bit. and in a little time the
animal will be cured of Juggling at the
bit, which often makes it tiresome.

A Man of Weight.

The British IheaicaL Journal gives the
following interesting particulars of the
height, weight and dimensions of
Thomas Longley, of Dover, who is said
to be the heaviest British subject in the
world. Mr.. Longley, who is respect
able and intelligent publican, is forty
years of age, being born of parents not
above the normal size in 1S4S. As a
baby he was not considered large. His
present weight is forty stone (56O pounds !:
height, six feet and three-fourths
of an inch; measurement of the waist,
eighty inches; size of leg, twenty-five
inches. He finds considerable difficulty
in walking, and does not trust himself in
a carriage for fear of breaking the
springs. He is said to be very temperate,
both in eating and drinking, and has
never suffered from any i'll health of
serious nature.

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Care of the Cucumber Patch.

l made il practice for number OF
wears to let the first cucumbers which APP
peared 90 to seed, says Rural Ne1e
Yorker correspondent. The result was
had very few cucumbers for table use
and scarcely any smaller ones for pick
ling. Now 1 take special pains to pick
off every cucumber. whether needed for
table use or not, and the result is strong
growth of vine and plenty of either Gu
cumbers or pickles. 1t is astonishing
how much difference there is in the yield
from patch where some of the cucum-
bers which come on early are permitted
to 90 to seed, and patch from which
every pickle and cucumber is picked
each morning. l have found that the
best plan is to begin to pick the small
cucum bers as soon as they will do for
pickles, and as rule enough will escape
our notice, until they are too large for
picking, to supply the family with GU
cumbers. A plot forty feet square with
proper care will furnish all the pickles
and cucumbers a small family will re-
quire; certainly all the average house
wife will care to attend to.
